« on: 20 March 2019, 08:31:04 am »
I know I could be opening up a political discussion but please keep those comments off this thread!

is anyone else attending this ride? there are a few of us from the south coast that are planning on going from various military clubs

It ain't what you ride, it's who you ride with!!!

ULEZ is going to be a problem for some then, which is a shame.

yes & no lol...
1 they could black out number plates or if they want to stay legal hope they don't get caught whilst riding in a large group
2. I agree that bikes may incur the £12 charge but I am sure that if they are that passionate about the cause then they will pay it. (what my club has said is that if any club member incurs the charge the club will pay for it!)

Both my bikes don't comply and I begrudge Khan getting a single penny from this worthy show of support, so will have to give this a miss.
Ride safe Robbie.

So did you go. I have been looking on the facebook page all about this and it looked epic. Been looking out for it on the BBC - nothing. Spotted a couple of  :faz   on the facebook vid.Wonder if the black one is on here or just someone who has learned from here as he has the two light boxeye mod

Unfortunately I had a change of plans but I know quite a few that rode. In fact in the bottom picture the bike in foreground is someone from the AAV I know! lol

Paid the ULEZ, took the thou, complete with Givi side cases and topbox (so her indoors could relax a little). Didn't miss a beat, didn't overheat, didn't burn/lose any oil (but I saw plenty of newer machinery that did  :eek ) and the clutch was still working when I overtook a blue thou (obviously, mines in the faster red colour  :lol ) on the M40 on the way home.
An awesome day out - very emotional for all involved I think.
